Background: The year is 1987, in the age of corruption and the clash of two dimensions - human realm and the eldritch vastness. Leitner family is expecting their first child, when their area is blasted with the crushing border of the dimensional implosion. Yevgeny is born with many complications, which lead to his mother's death. His father never stops blaming Yevgeny for her death, therefore he is always detached from his son, tolerating/openly hating him. He grows up without any sign of familial love - and when he shows first signs of his mutation at the age of 5, his father decides to monetize on that and sends him to child battle-royale type camps. There, Yevgeny competes with other children, less or more bound to the eldritch entities - for survival. And despite his fragile build, he keeps winning. Destroying and killing his oponents till the age of 10, thinking of it as normal occurrance - he wants to gain his father's approval and love. But that never comes - what comes is more abuse - calling him names, beating him. But he loves his father now - he can't oppose, he thinks that he's doing it for his general good. He slowly starts developing his abilities - ability to connect with mushrooms of various kind, communicate with them and control them. A priest of the local combat church calls his affliction "Legion" - basing on the biblical quote "Our name is legion, for we are plenty". Yevgeny grows up losing any interest in human relationships and any gains that he can get from them, gaining more and more resentment towards his father and detatching more and more of his humanity. One day, when his father says one word too more, Yevgeny stabs him to death - which is ruled as a self defence, and the boy leaves his family home at the age of 16. He lives through multiple psychotic breaks, and falls into drug addiction - enjoying all types of opioids and slowly developing memory issues - but that suits him well, he does not want to remember. It does not help his fractured mind, as one day, while working as a taxi driver, at the age of 19, he speeds into a crowd of 23 people, killing 7 and injuring other 10. During the interrogation, a death sentence is shortly announced. But he is saved by an unexpected ally - Boka Kolnos, from the eldritch crisis division in St. Petersburg - who notices his powerful abilities, and decides to give him a chance. In the headquarters of their division, Yevgeny learns that this is not really a saving - this place just postpones death sentence until the next incident - but as a repayment for the bad deeds, he is to help humanity prevvent further catastrophies caused by the otherworldly creatures, the ones that he is bound to - just like almost everybody else there. He meets Żenia, his first love, at the age of 24 - and he is absolutly intrigued by his empathy, his sacrifice for the greater good and thoughtfulness. Those things never come naturally to Yevgeny - so he follows Żenia everywhere, and, despite the other man being asexual - falls in love with him after few months of knowing. Their supervisor is Boka himself - almost as detached, yet kind and tired soul, who can control the gravity, his bound's codename being "Lucifer". Sadly, on one of the missions, Żenia goes missing - supposedely crushed by a falling skyscraper - which Yevgeny can't get over. As for now, he lives in the headquarters, participating in missions and simply existing - in his oblivious, traumatized state. He is constantly in his own world, repressing the memories of his childhood by using drugs and killing his enemies. He is not very talkative, laser focused on his objectives, swallowing the burden of living and anguish every day. He hopes that one day, he will feel something. Anything.)
